I am the proud possessor of simultaneous, competing obsessions with running, travel, music, linguistics, and history.  I grew up with my run-mates in Fitchburg, MA in a somewhat renovated chicken barn where
I developed a high-level, low-importance talent for ping-pong. I don’t like ,shoes with excessive padding.I do like books by Jonathan Safran Foer.I don’t stretchand I like running on hills. I’m a Red Sox fan, I love Scrabble, and I’m something of a socialist. Eventually, I will be a professor of linguistics or Spanish and hopefully write influential books. In Risk, I prefer North America, and the states for which I’m most excited are Oregon and South Dakota. Please feel free to e-mail me at adamlassila@gmail.com and I will be thrilled to discuss absolutely any subject with you. I hope you have a nice evening.

Words to run by: "I like running because it's a challenge. If you run hard, there's the pain----and you've got to work your way through the pain. You know, lately it seems all you hear is 'Don't overdo it' and 'Don't push yourself.' Well, I think that's a lot of bull. If you push the human body, it will respond." -Bob Clark

I like thunderstorms, Malai Kofta, and chocolate in every possible form.  I occasionally sport a purple toenail (or two), which has absolutely nothing to do with nailpolish. I drink a lot of tea and enjoy hot beverages immediately after they are served. My tongue has no feeling. I wear sandals in the snow. My feet have no feeling. I had foot surgery and ran the Boston Marathon within days of each other. I am ALWAYS Batbilig Chinzorig in the game of QUELF. I play guitar, impersonate Mitch Hedberg, and have attended several Irish step dancing classes through a window. I love tree tunnels. I have two sisters, curly hair, and am highly allergic to everything. I will run the length of the United States for all those fighting cancer and those who have lost their battle. I will run to remind myself and others to follow their dreams now.
